Nigerians have reacted with contempt as a 43-year-old man emerged the new president of the National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS).
The man identified as Mr. Sunday Dare Asefon is reportedly a postgraduate diploma (PGD) student of the Ekiti State University (EKSU), in Ado-Ekiti.
It is alleged that he is the chosen candidate of the Ekiti State Governor, Kayode Fayemi, who reportedly sponsored his campaign with N40 million.
The president-elect polled 155 voted in the electoral contest ahead of Momodu, 11 votes; Champion, 2 votes; Alopay, 7 votes and Ladoja, 100 votes.
His victory has been trailed with mixed reactions on social media, with the vast majority questioning why a 43-year-old should be the NANS president.

A 43 year old has become the new NANS President, someone that is almost twice my age, and he was elected by an assemblage of people within the youth bracket. I don’t think the solution to this country’s problems comes with age.
